The first ever Ardbeg Supernova, and Ardbeg's initial go at producing super peaty whisky! This was created specially for the Ardbeg Committee, and when we first tasted it we couldn't believe how fantastic it was; like a huge explosion of smoked chilli heat! Unlike other super peaty whiskies (which shall remain nameless), this actually has a fabulous flavour as well as insane phenol levels!
These bottles were part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Peaty and spicy, this is pungent with tar, pipe tobacco, smoked paprika, hints of parma ham, chili, burning turmeric, toffee apple sweetness, citrus and malt.
Massive, this is just a crescendo of intense, fiery peat, like biting into a chipotle chilli, with a-whole-nother dimension of sweetness and fruit too. Fabulous stuff, with hints of top quality mezcal, apples, lime juice and lemon curd.
Coal tar, citrus, salty butter, sticking plasters, cocoa and big, warming peat that tingles the tongue for minutes.

Opened this with my dad for his 60th. Both Ardbeg fans and put this bottle firmly as the best whisky we have tried. Bottle was a 3/4 finished that night... amazing
